Connecting structure of crimp terminal and electric wire
A connecting structure of a crimp terminal and an electric wire includes an electric wire including a conductor, an insulating coating covering the conductor, and a conductor exposed part where the conductor is exposed by removing the coating on an end part of the electric wire; a crimp terminal made of a metal material different from that of the conductor and includes an electric wire connector including a conductor crimping portion that crimps the conductor exposed part of the end part of the electric wire and a coating crimping portion that crimps a part of the coating left in the end part of the electric wire; and an intermediate potential film deposited by spraying a metal having a potential different from that of the metal material of the crimp terminal on an outer periphery of the electric wire connector being crimped to the end part of the electric wire.
1. A connecting structure of a crimp terminal and an electric wire, the connecting structure comprising:
an electric wire that includes a conductor, an insulating coating covering the conductor, and a conductor exposed part where the conductor is exposed by removing the coating on an end part of the electric wire;
a crimp terminal that is made of a metal material different from that of the conductor and includes an electric wire connector, the electric wire connector including a conductor crimping portion being configured to crimp the conductor exposed part of the end part of the electric wire and a coating crimping portion being configured to crimp a part of the coating left in the end part of the electric wire; and
an intermediate potential film that is deposited by spraying a metal having a potential different from a potential of the metal material of the crimp terminal on an outer periphery of the electric wire connector that is being crimped to the end part of the electric wire;
wherein the intermediate potential film includes the metal having the potential different from the potential of the metal material of the crimp terminal.
